Twice former World Snooker Champion, Mark Williams, has qualified for the final stages at the Crucible by beating Tom Ford 10-5. Ford who himself has had a good year will be disappointed that he could not overcome the Welshman but has done his cause well in reaching the top 48 for the first time.
Williams, having been out of the top 16 this season, surely would not have enjoyed having to qualify, however, his record this season has been reasonable and he will be a tough draw for anyone at the Crucible.
China’s Liang Wenbo will also be making his second appearance, his Kamikaze style got him to the last 8 in 2008, and he will be one to watch again.
In my opinion he will be one player to watch in the 2009/10 season as he develops his match play ability.
